I saw it on clearance in Woolie at Hurstville, NSW. I believe it should be on other Woolies at well, while stock last.

      Well, it is butter from the other side of the planet.

        Well travelled, straight from cultured European cows.

    The best butter!

    • I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!

      • I can't believe at full price it's $18/kg

        • Pepe Saya is $8.50/225g or $37.78/kg
          So this is cheap in comparison lol

      Nope, I think it’s a very bland tasting butter.

    • THIS is the best butter in the world. Made in Normandie, France.

    I use western star butter

  • I'm sure I saw this a few days ago in Melbourne, so good chance it's elsewhere…. I didn't think it was a good deal price/kilo for butter, but might have to look into it further

    • Whilst I do agree the homebrand butter is really good (and I do usually buy it) there's something yum about Lurpack if you're eating it where it shines rather than cooking with it.

      • I find the Woolies home brand butter doesn't melt/spread as easily. Is it just me?
        I buy the Aldi brand as it's much easier to spread.

        • Are you talking about spreadable butter or butter in a block?

          • @stickyfingers: Butter in a block. The Woolies home brand one I find doesn't spread well compared to different brands. Pretty much every other brand I've tried including Aldi spreads ok but not the Woolies one.

            • @bonezAU: Hmm. Not something I’ve paid attention to. I usually cut thin slivers from the block. Will give it some more attention to see from now on.

      • The great flavour comes from being slightly cultured in Denmark :)

    Are the cows danish?

    The real bargain is just Tasmanian butter. No need to import something we do very well.

    • How does it compared to Pepe Saya?

      Duck river butter is the best butter in the world cmv

      can you get them in your normal colesworth? any recco?

  • This one's pretty good too: https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/367791/mac…

    I saw it in Woolie at Hurstville, NSW. I believe it should be on other Woolies at well.

    Weird, it doesn't show in stock in any Woolies that I tried for irrespective of the state - tried some random NSW, VIC and SA post codes!

    If you're cooking penne pasta, just as you take out of the water and drain the water. I put a few slices of lurpack butter in there to stop it from sticking but also adds a flavour to it. I'll usually transfer the penne from the colander back to the pot and add a couple more slides.

  • ain't this cheaper at spudshed?

  • I use ETA margarine

    • PhatChedda the ETA eater just like Rita.

    Australia does better butter than Denmark tbh

    • Sure do. NZ do, too, if you want foreign lol

  • Lurpak is not butter. It is a blend of butter and (mostly) Canola Oil. Price is enabled by clever marketing.

    Quote:
    Butter (64%), Canola Oil (26%), Water, Lactic Culture, Salt (0.9%), Vitamin D

    I hate the way it slides off my knife before I can spread it.

      Spot on. Would never buy Lurpak butter. We have 100% butter here from Australian cream for roughly the same cost not on special. Rather pure cream butter, than have canola oil clog up my arteries.

      • What's bad about canola oil?
        Harvard School of Public Health says "Although care must be taken in handling and processing of canola oil and other vegetable oils, canola oil is a safe and healthy form of fat that will reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels and heart disease risk compared to carbohydrates or saturated fats such as found in beef tallow or butter."

        Not spot on. The person you're replying to is referring to Lurpak Spreadable. The product in this deal is 100% butter with no canola oil.

      Sorry, butter nerd here!

      Actually the Lurpak block on sale here is actually butter, the one you are referring to is the spreadable Lurpak.

      Keep in mind anything "spreadable" contains oil including Western Star and Devondale.

      The only spreadable butter that is pure butter is the Mainland Buttersoft!!!! (my favourite)

      • +1

        That's the one I use too but it does have a bit of a coconutty taste for me. Wanted to try new brands but hard to find butter-only spreadable.

  • For salt reduced its still pretty high in sodium

    Lurpak is a standard in Scandinavia and is sold by different names in each country, it’s Bregott in Sweden for example. If you are from there, you simply can’t beat it even if you are absolutely right it’s prolly same/better here, lots of expats bring it to some countries that don’t have Lurpak. Fun fact: in Norway the Nutella clone is more popular then the original because they grew up with it — definitely not better :)

    Anyway, we will be stocking these. Thanks op!

    • Obviously you are a man of culture. Lupak is made by Arla. They also produce&sell other things in Straya. For those who thinks straya does better butter in general (there are a few exeptions) does not know any better.

    • Wow thanks for the info. I did not know a simple block of butter has so much history behind it.

      Would make a great chit chat story when I go shopping for groceries with my tinder date.

        I did not know a simple block of butter has so much history behind it.

        Like the Norwegian Butter Crisis of 2011

        • A crises with butter? That'll do me!

        • Yes, I remember that one. There is this company called Tine in Norway which is a 'monopoly' and the import taxes are deliberately high to avoid competition from other countries so they can be self sufficient — see they learned their lesson in WWII to be independent. It wasn't a big problem for Oslo since the Swedish border is so close you drive there, which is what any sane person would do. The grocery shopping experience in Norway is depressing with high prices and no variety (thanks to import taxes). I hear they got better in recent years though.

          @Homr its not a simple block of butter for many, I know ppl complaining about some countries, like 'They don't even have Bregott/Lurpak here, what the …', it's something you eat every day, with every dish.

          @Edog What other products are sold by Arla?

        • Yes that crisis had them beat

  • Are these actually 100% butter or are they like a mix?

  • +2

    For what it's worth, Choice magazine did a test of butter and this one came out on top based on a taste test by three "experts". Interestingly, Pepe Saya ended up near the bottom, but a few commenters disagreed with the result.

  • Do anyone know when this was invented?

  • LOL @ 'Slightly' salted

    Oh Lurpak, I love you
